Trump invokes 9/11 in urging Michigan voters to oppose Muslim Senate candidate El-Sayed
"I'm here to keep a jihadist, Muslim Brotherhood member from becoming a United States senator," Trump told a receptive audience in Port Huron, Michigan.
President Donald Trump urged Michigan voters at a Sunday campaign rally to oppose Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, accusing him of being a Muslim extremist linked to the 9/11 attackers. Trump compared El-Sayed to the 9/11 hijackers and stated that if El-Sayed were elected, he would be the first Muslim senator, implying he would require a metal detector to enter the Capitol.
El-Sayed has denied any affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood, describing Rogers' allegations as "shameful." This push to link El-Sayed to extremism adds to the already competitive Senate race in Michigan, one of the few battleground states in the 2024 midterm elections.
